About me

I am writing to apply for an apprenticeship with engineering and design based companies.

I have always had an interest in the ways things work, and my strong interest in engineering has been a natural progression of mine. I also enjoy creating innovative designs. My interest in Design and Technology has developed throughout my time in school, and I also enjoy the challenge of using scientific and mathematical ideas when solving everyday problems.

Last summer I did one weeks work experience for Alan Baxter and Associates; a company which specialises in Structural Engineering. My drawing and modelling skills developed during the four days I worked with them. I produced a model of the swimming bath project which Alan Baxter and Associates are currently working on from scale drawings and I also produce my own drawing of the swimming baths to show the changes which would be taking place. This placement enabled me to develop my practical and team work skills. As a result I feel confident in my ability to work on my own initiative and function as a pro-active team member.

Since my placement I have researched into various engineering and design areas and I am certain that a career in engineering and design would be perfect for me.
